South Rim Sunrise flower Painting the textures and colors

Painting the textures and colors of the decaying wood of a storm damaged willow was enjoyable and gave me a chance to echo the warm sienna’s and gold’s of the rooster

They would provide the dark background needed and at the same time add interest and character

Gobblers often sound off in response to other sounds in the woods especially the call of the barred owl

The early morning air is damp

South Rim Sunrise flower Painting the textures and colorsThe morning sun burns through the clouds, sending shafts of light down into the Grand Canyon. There are many places to view the sunrise over the Grand Canyon. Mather Point, easily accessible from the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, is one ideal spot, and it provides the setting for my first painting of the epic canyon. Larry Zach Image Size: 9" x 12"
